If you’re on a journey to become someone new—to level up, to shed old limiting beliefs and patterns—this is the story of what it may look like. The nuances will be different for everyone, but the process is real, and if you don’t know what to look for, it can take you down. That’s why I wanted to get this episode to you as fast as possible.

What I’m sharing is what’s known as the dark night of the soul, a concept first described by 16th-century Spanish mystic St. John of the Cross. For me, it has meant facing familiar despair, meeting my inner child with compassion instead of judgment, and learning to stay grounded through dark thoughts that felt “necessary.”

This isn’t struggle for struggle’s sake—it’s the shedding, the undoing, the proof that growth is happening. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or scared of the darkness, this episode is for you. You are not broken, you are not alone, and this season may be the very thing preparing you for the next version of you.
